Chapter 124: Extraordinary-Grade Strange Object (Please Subscribe)

~7 min read 1,268 words

Outside the Auguf Auction House.

Percy Anias, dressed in his uniform, hid inside a public carriage with its curtains drawn. Sitting opposite him was a row of Investigation Bureau agents, led by none other than his superior—the Patrol Squad Captain of the Investigation Bureau, Sinderson Kappler, who possessed pale purple eyes.

"Based on various clues, it can basically be confirmed that the identity of the person hiding in the Benjamin case is none other than the Holy Spirit Church Cleric, Chris Tuoya!"

Sinderson said concisely: "The target is suspected to be a 'Pupa' Extraordinary, has two students named Jack and Aierlanqi, and may have also secretly established a secret organization and a Secret Teachings group... The estimated origin level is between the second and third layers, making him a relatively dangerous figure. Per the Bureau Chief's orders, arrest him immediately!"

"This mission is the responsibility of our Patrol Squad. For the sake of secrecy, I have applied for a Magical Item... but we must still minimize the impact. However, do not hold back when you strike... Even if there are witnesses, the 'Clearance Squad' is responsible for modifying their memories!"

"Captain..."

Percy was one of the sources of the clues, and at this moment, he actively offered a suggestion: "Chris is currently inside the auction house. Executing the arrest will cause too much of a stir... and many of the city's celebrities are there, which would have a very bad impact."

A group of agents in black trench coats rushed in. Two burly men among them pressed him directly against the wall at the edge of the aisle, as if he were a sheet of paper.

Inside was an exquisite Doll House, and from the cross-section, one could see miniature furniture and several beautiful dolls.

He prepared to go to the washroom to check on his friend.

In a second-floor box of the auction house.

The second floor of the auction house.

Stomp, stomp!

After he finished speaking, he didn't care about his good friend and pulled open the box door directly.

William Mark muttered something and pulled open the box door: "I really should go see a doctor after all..."

Zzzzt!

"Yes!"

"Attention, the target has changed his itinerary. He has gone to the washroom. I will continue to follow!"

"I think you should go see a doctor more..."

Magical Items, also known as 'Strange Objects', often possess quite peculiar abilities, but they also have terrifying negative effects.

William Mark's hand was extended in mid-air, his mouth subconsciously muttering.

"Ugh, ugh..."

His skin was easily torn open, revealing three bloody scratches.

It was in this moment of distraction that the agent was enveloped by a black cloud of insects. Without even letting out a scream, he died completely. His corpse was rapidly losing moisture, his face sunken, resembling a skeleton covered in skin.

And now, it had been 'released', meaning Percy could be sucked into it at any moment and become a doll!

While running, two agents followed beside Percy, ready to replace Percy should he turn into a doll, and use the 'Doll House' to fight!

Beads of sweat seeped from Chris's forehead. He apologized again, his right hand subconsciously scratching at his face.

Pleasantly scented incense spread throughout the surroundings. William Mark seemed to sink into the sofa, smiling at Chris beside him: "The Green Forest Ring of Power... I can guarantee that after buying it, you can use it to knock on the door of any noble in Plymouth..."

"'Extraordinary' Magical Item—Doll House. Formal Members can know some information, but only the Captain can apply for it..."

After confirming the status of the Magical Item, Percy, almost with the posture of a martyr, picked up the black box and rushed into the auction house.

The next instant, his pupils constricted.

Chris saw the bright red on his fingers and realized there was a problem: "I... I'm not feeling right. I need to go to the washroom..."

The Auguf Auction House still had a reputation in this regard, so William Mark subconsciously felt that it was authentic.

Is it a change in personality now?

"Sorry... I'm not feeling well!"

This Investigation Bureau agent immediately heard the sound of vomiting from inside the washroom.

Outside the box, a waiter wearing a black vest, holding a tray and a red wine glass, saw this scene, immediately hid in a corner, activated a silver Talisman on his body, and said hurriedly.

"Of course, I have already ordered people to follow him. We will act immediately once he is on the way back to the church!"

"Doll House, Extraordinary Magical Item. It can create a doll space and suck the target into it... All targets that enter will turn into real, scaled-down dolls... One can attempt to interfere from the outside..."

When encountering such valuable antiques, even if one cannot buy them, one can talk about them endlessly for half a day.

"Chris... you?" This scene stunned William Mark. This company director froze for a moment, looking at his good friend.

He saw Chris, who had scratched bloody marks onto his own face, open his mouth wide and vomit out clumps of pitch-black 'smoke'!

No... those were countless tiny, dense, winged black insects!

"Why has Chris been so long?"

This made William Mark feel very strange. One had to know that this Cleric usually loved things related to money the most.

After turning a corner, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

Above the 'Extraordinary' grade, there are even more terrifying 'Non-human' grades!

As far as he knew, only the Branch Chief could know the full information, and the entire Green Forest City Investigation Bureau only had one!

And above the 'Non-human' grade, it is said there is an even higher 'Angel-level'... He had only heard Sinderson mention once that an 'Angel-level' Strange Object had gone out of control, causing a disaster that endangered a city, and then he was ordered to forget the relevant content.

Previously, this 'Doll House' had been suppressed and sealed to a certain extent using the Investigation Bureau's 'Non-human' Magical Item.

Then, he draped a white towel over his arm and walked outside the luxuriously decorated VIP washroom on the second floor, pretending to be someone who was supposed to be standing there.

"Sir... do you need help?"

He reached his right hand into his pocket, gripped a Zoulun, and while asking in a gentle voice, he opened the door.

"Its negative effect is... it will subconsciously pull people from the outside in. If the time spent as a doll exceeds 12 hours, the transformation will be permanent."

"Yes..."

Percy looked at it, and relevant information automatically surfaced in his mind.

"Oh no, something's wrong!"

Inside the public carriage outside the auction house, Sinderson looked at the silver Talisman in his hand, his face suddenly turning gloomy: "Percy... go activate that Magical Item!"

Chris wiped his cheeks with a white handkerchief, looking somewhat distracted.

They vibrated their wings, emitting a buzzing sound that seemed to penetrate directly into the agent's skull, causing him a momentary lapse in focus.

"The plan has changed, act immediately!"

Sinderson smiled with gratification, as if he had finally seen this subordinate grow.

Percy's nerves tightened instantly; he went to the place where luggage was stored in the public carriage and opened a black trunk.

"What are you doing? I am a distinguished guest..."

William Mark turned his head, and just as he struggled to get out a sentence, he saw countless clouds of black insects surging out from the washroom, like a surging black tide...
